Ring a Week 36/52

Continuing my journey in this great challenge, Ring a Week, I decided to create a ring inspired in the wonderful paper mache suns from Mexico. I wanted to make a piece and be able to add lots of colors to it, this is why I decided to make it with Creative Paper Clay.
Yesterday I hand sculpted, carved the body and formed the face; Today I added the rays to the face and colored it.
I am very pleased with how the ring looks like, I was not sure I could be able to make the sun the way I imagined it in my head but I think it looks nice and has the life and presence I wanted to transmit.

About Me

I am a Mexican artist and I currently live in San Antonio, Texas with my Husband and two wonderful kids.
I am passionate about folk art and art in general. Working with metals, particularly metal clay, such as pure silver, bronze and copper, enables me to transmit through the pieces I create this passion I feel. I also enjoy making unique pieces of wearable art combining metal clay and traditional metalsmithing techniques using mixed media.
My work is a big reflection of who I am , where I come from and my big love for my culture and traditions.
